High protein vegan diet - 2005/09/26 17:06 A food question on a.f.v .. don't be too shocked now

I've just started to get into weightlifting a little more seriously, and
I'm wondering if there's any good high protein vegan meals around.

atleast double the amount of carbs as protein.

The majority of my protein now comes from a soy protein powder that I have of a morning. If I'm going to up my protein I'd prefer to do it through meals rather than just adding more suppliments.

re:High protein vegan diet - 2005/09/26 23:20 You've got some good points, and have made me question my goals (which is always a good thing!). I guess I'm looking at it like this: I've always been relatively bulky, regardless of diet, exercise etc. Not obese (except for a couple of years in uni

) but thick-chested etc. So I figured that
I may as well go with my general body base and turn it into something that looks a little better.

BUT, that being said, what I'm after from weightlifting and is basically strength and fitness, not looks. Looking better is a bonus. I already ride to work a few times a week, but I don't enjoy that all that much - it's more a form of transport that has the bonus of being healthy. I actually enjoy weights though, so I figured that would be a good place to focus my energy.

This is all stuff I hadn't considered - thanks again.

re:High protein vegan diet - 2005/09/27 00:52 I don't think sulking up and cardio is mutually exclusive although lots of meat eating lifters would laugh at my cardio- from my experience you can do both-but I do have borderline high blood pressure(so does my father)
but am a bit bulked up--personally I think a bit of lifting and running is wonderful-gets those endorphins going and you look and feel wonderful-it is nice having big arms and chest--ha ha..It might a bit slower on veg diet but
I have always been one...for serious competitive bulking I don't know....

re:High protein vegan diet - 2005/09/27 09:47 Thanks for all the advice

Just to clarify, I'm not particularly image-conscious. I've started to take weight-lifting more seriously only because I enjoy it, not because
I wanna turn into an ape

Increasing protein was because if I'm going the work I want to get the most out of it, and most things I've read seem to say you need heaps of protein to do that.

I thought 50% was a little high.. I'll read up on the info you have me.

As for priorities.. I'm a vegetarian who's slowly moving towards vegan.
I'm not about to go on an animal eating rampage just so I can bulk up - I just wanted to know if there was a "vegan" way to do it. Pretty much every vegetarian recipe I can find that has high protein also has high fat and a whole lot of dairy. Guess it's supplients and a whole lot of soy milk and soygurt for me...

re:High protein vegan diet - 2005/09/27 13:56 Maybe it would help to clarify what you want out of weight lifting. If it's enjoyment, as you mentioned, then there's not as much need to worry about protein:carb:fat ratios. If by "get the most out of it", you mean to bulk up then diet is important, but there are other factors to consider: age, body type, various repitition and resting strategies, etc. I am almost 45 years old, 6'2" tall, 160 lbs. - a "hardgainer" by most accounts. My interest is to maintain good health through vegetarian diet, weight bearing exercises, cardio exercises, inline skating, hiking, biking, cross country skiing, and generally lots of activity.

I have a few books on the subject. I like "The Vegetarian Sports Nutrition
Guide" by Lisa Dorfman the best. There are some recipes included and lots of personal accounts by famous vegetarian sports figures, many of them vegan.
